Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes, don’t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be?
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose?

Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life are you who you want to be?
This is your life are you who you want to be?

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be?
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose..

and you had everything to lose

When I first saw the title, I wasn’t interested in seeing it. I think the little-girl side of me was thinking “Boy Genius? Boys aren’t geniuses…ever. Boys are stupid…;)”

ANYWAYS, it was a free kids rental, what can I say?

Jimmmy: They’re evovled beyond the need for mere conventional bodies. They must be an advanced species, millions of years ahead of us.

Wow! When I sneeze, it looks like an advanced species too.

Girls: EWWWW!

Jimmy: Now entering the mesosphere…the stratosphere…the ionsphere

Carl: Now I know why it ends in “fear”.

Jimmy: Hey look, there’s a Red Giant…and that’s a white dwarf!

Nick: You can relate, huh, Neutron?

(Jimmy looks sad)
Carl: Hey Jimmy, what’s the matter?

Jimmy: In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not exatly the tallest guy around. Shorty, squirt, small stuff, shrimp–gets to you after a while. And next year there’ll be dances. What girl wants to dance with a guy who looks like he should still be in Gymboree?

Carl: I didn’t think we liked girls yet.

Jimmy: Oh we don’t, nope. Not yet. However, one day Carl, an influx of hormones that we can’t control will overpower our better judgment and drive us to pursue the female species against our will.

Carl: Stop talking like that Jimmy! You’re gonna give me nightmares!

Jimmy: Listen, I wouldn’t worry. Puberty is light-years away for you and me.

I guess it’s part of growing up.

I’m sorry it had to end this way…

When Art told me about this concept of “loving with wisdom”, it sounded like B.S. to me. It sounded like a reason for you not to love.

I think I haven’t fully forgiven him yet. *sigh* What’s the point in holding in all the pain, anger, frustrations?

I should ..

Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross

=S

I don’t like this.

“I think you go too fast on turns. I heard from what Dad said. About you being shaky at it.” WHAT? How can you judge how I drive without having actually been in the car with me????

“Maybe, she should have a few more lessons before we start driving with her.”

Well did it ever occur to you I’ve driven like, a total of 4 times? Maybe I just need a little more practice??

I’m pissed.

What I brought back with me.

The Lord will guide you continually, watering your life when you are dry and keeping you healthy too. You will be like a well-watered garden, an ever-flowing spring.

Am I that different? Am I that changed? Satan uses doubt to cloud us and make us feel worthless. I’ve been distracted.

“Shachah” (Hebrew) - deliberate, intentional act of worship of God, resulting in change through experience and encounter with Him.

Through dancing with the little girl at edgewood, learning to love someone that was hard to love, opening my eyes to see a city torn because they don’t have YOU, I experienced my own shachah.

I can’t fathom how much He loves me. It’s an insane love and I don’t deserve it..but that’s grace. That’s mercy. That’s love.
